According to the official website, fans will even walk away with special Pokémon for the X, Y, Alpha Sapphire, and Omega Ruby titles.

Fans eager to get going on their quest can pre-order a Pokémon EXPO Gym Member’s Card & Pass Case from October 31, although it’s only available to buy at the Pokemon Center shop in Osaka.

Attending the real life Pokemon Gym will also supply you with a Gym Gear app for smartphones that will show your Gym stats and ranking.

There is no known connections between Pokemon Go and the new Gym, although both will contain augmented reality features and push to provide real world Pokemon action for fans.

 

Pokémon Go recently received a boost from partners Nintendo and The Pokemon Company, who with Google are set to invest in the title's developers, Niantic.

The new Series A funding could be worth as much as $30m if all the right milestones are reached.

Speaking about the deal Tsunekazu Ishihara of The Pokémon Company explained: “Pokemon’s strategic investment in Niantic paves the way for a social mobile experience the world has never seen before.

“The Pokémon Company is committed to partnering with companies like Niantic that share the same spirit of community and innovation.”
